Investment Q&A

Q: Would appreciate your opinion on the following
Given the trade tensions between Canada and the USA what is the chance that Ottawa might not allow the takeover. And should Ottawa deny the takeover, what happens? I assume PKI shares could fall substantially.
Secondly, the current value of shares and cash, which most likely all PKI shareholders will get, is currently not $44 , but closer to $41.50 a share. Do you concur? And if so would you anticipate any top up to bring the offer closer to the $44 level.?
Based on your analysis, what is the best strategy: should Parkland shareholders continue to hold the shares or sell the shares and move on?
Thanks for your insight.

Q: Hi, PKI is trading well below the Sunoco offer. Who would vote Yes to such an offer?

Major shareholders: Simpson Oil 20%, surely not, FMR LLC (Fidelity) 11% ? , Engine Capital 2.5% said NO on Friday.

When will a new offer come? Probably at the last minute, it happens a lot.
Great weekend to you.

Q: Hi, in your opinion is it possible to continue to hold bonds of CIX maturing in september 2027 and bonds of PKI maturing in march 2029 in a registered account even if the Companies are taken private ?thank you

Q: Good morning,

On May 5th the company announced that it has agreed to a takeover by Sunoco. The terms of the deal is cash and .295 shares of the new entity Suncorp.

My questions are two fold.

1. Is this new company, the old company renamed, or is this a spin off of the old company?

2. Assuming the deal goes through on June 24, how does the $44.00 price for each Parkland share work out, if the value of Suncorp is lower than the price of SUN at the time of the agreement?

3. That being said, do you expect the share price to rise to the value of the offer made, as the date of the vote nears?

4. Would you sell PKI if it gets to $44 or keep the shares of the new company?

Q: what do you think of the deal on the table. Are shareholders getting fair value?

Q: Hi,
Sunoco has offered to buy Parkland @ $44 per share or for a mix of cash/shares. PKI closed at $38.25. Is this a good opportunity or is there a lot of deal risk? Little confused by the lack of stock movement. Holding a small position.
Thanks!

Q: How will Parkland be affected when Simpson takes control of the board?

Q: What are your thoughts on initiating a position on PKI? Is a sale of the company possible in the near future?Thanks. Shyam

Q: Dear 5i team.

Would appreciate your updated views on PKI with the recent news that Simpson is taking steps to field 9 new board members.
What is your educated guess on how this plays out?
I see the chart indicating a bounce opportunity as it's trading back to levels currently that look like triple bottom to my non educated eye.

Appreciate your assesment.

Q: Wondering what your best guess would be on a takeout price for this one.

Q: Hello 5i Team,
I have been contemplating selling my PKI shares and putting the proceeds into CNQ to boost my dividend income in a non-registered account. Two questions: First, do you think this is a good swap based on the fundamentals/growth prospects of each company? Second, given yesterday's news regarding Simpson Oil's legal victory, should I wait to see if the rally in PKI's share price continues? Current market cap of PKI is $6.5B, but apparently PKI turned down an offer to buy the company last summer which would have valued the company at $8B. If another offer comes forward from Simpson following this legal victory, I'm thinking there may be significant more upside in the share price (the 52-week high for PKI is around $48). Your thoughts on selling PKI now vs. waiting?
Much appreciated,
Brian

Q: Could you explain today’s press release in layman’s terms,are they headed for a strategic review and does this give them a tailwind,basically your thoughts on this announcement would you buy here for a 1-2 year hold thank you

Q: Hi, could you please rate these companies for a riff account. My goal would be dividend, growth and stability in down market. I have money for one company. (Would buying U.S. be beneficial?)

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I'm looking at some of my losers and pondering either getting rid of the or adding to them.

DHT.UN, HMM, OTXT, TSU

With some room freed up I was thinking of starting positions in PKI and DSG

What are your thoughts on the 4 stocks I'm down on? Would you add to any of them or look to sell for better opportunities? How would you rank them if you were to sell?

What are your thoughts on DSG and PKI? Do you view them as buyable now for 5-10 year holds?

This is in a TFSA which aims to balance growth and income.

Thanks for the Great Service!

Colin

Q: Interesting comments in your latest Market Update about small caps. In addition to any potential upside in 2025, we are close to the possible annual January “bounce”. If you had to pick 5 (ranked) Canadian small caps to take advantage, which 5 equities would you lean towards? Also, is there an ideal ETF that would cover all the small cap basics? (2 questions)
On another note, long time member here who is extremely grateful for the outstanding service you provide. I’ve listened attentively, learned a lot, and have been blessed with some lucrative decisions, always guided by your sage wisdom. For that I offer a heartfelt thank you, and wish all at 5i a wonderful Christmas and another prosperous 2025!
Chris

Q: Hello:
Parkland- Up a little, down a little. Please give me your analysis. What could I replace it with? I already own Atd.
Thanks, Ben.

Q: Another Canadian company (KUT.v) taken private.

Looking in to your crystal ball, over the next 1-3 years what are some other Canadian companies that you consider prime candidates to be acquired?

Q: Magna, Parkland, and Premium Brands have seen significant declines, making them look like attractive dividend stocks with yields around 4%. What do you think about buying them for their dividends? Is there a risk that these stocks could fall further? Which one would be the best to buy for its dividend and potential recovery, and which one should I avoid? Please rank them.
